In Ayurveda, allergic rhinitis is linked to an imbalance in Kapha Dosha, which causes mucous overproduction, and Vata Dosha, which leads to hypersensitivity and dryness.
Common Triggers for Allergic Rhinitis:
- Dust, pollen, mold, or pet allergens
- Changes in weather
- Imbalanced diet or lifestyle habits
- Weak immunity and toxin buildup (Ama)
Ayurvedic treatments focus on detoxifying the body, balancing doshas, and building immunity to minimize allergen sensitivity.
